CRISTIANO RONALDO

Playing with great players is what I dream of. Benzema is a great player. I’m very happy he’s back. There are not many players better than Benzema in the world. He will contribute a lot to us

For what he’s doing and for what he’s done, he has to be in the list of possible winners.

Saying that Karim’s got time to win it. I somehow doubt this is his final season – he’s like a fine wine; the older he gets the better he is...

I think he has largely the level of Thierry.

Thierry really impressed me because he was not only a fast player but he had the ball. But Karim is more complete.

He also has a kind of presence ...

No doubt my candidate for the Ballon d’Or is. The best striker, brutal level for 10 years and a champion above all.

Benzema is a mix between Raul and Butragueno, he gives much more to the game than just statistics.

Karim Benzema is the best of his generation by far, he’s very complete.

I like his finishing, his way of participating in the actions of his team, in their creation. He is not only there to score goals, he is there to bring the of...

He is my favourite.

I love how he plays and how he links up with his team-mates.

e comes short, frees up the space that gives the game far more depth. When he plays well, the team plays well....

I don't need money, and when I do a favor, I expect nothing back.

I’m a big fan of Karim, as I have suffered from him in training and I know how difficult it is to mark him.

He is a legendary player, not only in Madrid but in world football.

The best striker of La Liga showed his class again – my boy Benzi.

I know what a player Benzema is, everyone knows it.

Everyone can have their opinion on who is the best No.9 in the world and for me it’s Karim.

He is confident, he knows you can always improv...

When I speak about Benzema, only one word comes to mind, it’s class. He is class. When he plays, whatever he does, he does it with class.
